We have ourselves a 12-game NBA slate tonight after a strong weekend to conclude the NBA’s rivalry week, but we still have multiple captivating games. Let’s get to it.
If you’re looking for a preview of a potential deep postseason matchup, we have a showdown featuring the West’s top two teams in the standings in the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves with the Thunder up 2-1 on the season.
Doc Rivers makes his Milwaukee Bucks’ coaching debut tonight and is thrown right into the fire as his Bucks are in the Rockies to take on the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
Other games including the LA Clippers-Cleveland Cavaliers matchup and the Los Angeles Lakers-Houston Rockets showdown should give us some thrillers down to the wire, but if you’re looking for an absolute slop fest, look no further than the Washington Wizards-San Antonio Spurs game.
Tonight’s slate has everything a bettor can ask for, so let’s lock in and pump out some winners.
